The Strangers... I dont get it.
This is rep'd a lot of times as one of the scariest movies out there. Me and the wife watched it a few years ago and I have to say, I don't get it. We were ready to turn it off about halfway through out of sheer boredom. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did, it just dragged along. It was brutally unrealistic and just to damn slow. Eh, I just don't get it.

It was pretty painful, yes.
I've never heard anything good about it tho. "Ills" on the other hand..

I can't explain why some movies make me physically uncomfortable, but this one did for some reason. I think what scared me most was the fact that they were in the house but you only knew where they were for about 2 seconds at a time... and the fact that there's 3 means that they can be in multiple places at once.

I feel better knowing that I'm not alone. Damn movie gets great reviews and all sorts of credit everywhere I look but I just never understood the attraction.

44% on rotten tomatoes isn't necessarily "great reviews".

Im not normally one to depend on reviews from "critics". I was more talking about horror fans like us. If you follow the link below to www.Bloody-disgusting.com you can see by the comments that people loved this shit. Normally the only reason I watch something that doesn't particularly look good is if people who I believe to be my peers and on the same wavelength say its good. This time, people where wrong.
http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/33...lly-happening/ Then there is the reviews on IMDB, which as I said I don't normally take into consideration but it almost seems like its either 1 star or 5 stars. The people who love it really rave about it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482606/...?ref_=tt_ov_rt The Amazon reviews are even crazier. http://www.amazon.com/The-Strangers-.../dp/B001D2WU9I And there are plenty of reviews out there like this one... http://www.film.com/movies/the-stran...ovie-ever-made

I thought The Strangers was a great movie, and I was really scared by it, but it wasn't perfect. The skeptical boyfriend character in every movie is always aggravating, and the intruders seemed to warp around the house at will. I really liked it because it was effective, even if it's a little unrealistic. Last edited by horcrux2007; 04-01-2015 at 05:06 AM. |
